What is really important?

One of the teachers of the law came
and heard them debating.
Noticing that Jesus had given them
a good answer, he asked him,
“Of all the commandments,
which is the most important?”
“The most important one,” answered Jesus, “is this:
‘Hear, O Israel, the Lord our God, the Lord is one.
Love the Lord your God with all your heart
and with all your soul
and with all your mind
and with all your strength.’
The second is this:
‘Love your neighbor as yourself.’
There is no commandment greater than these.”
- Mark 12:28-31 NIV
